What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this router and table combo for its powerful 12-amp motor, variable speed control, and solid aluminum construction at exceptional value. The sturdy table assembles easily, features effective dust collection, and accepts both 1/4" and 1/2" bits. Reviewers consistently note it handles hardwoods and intricate cuts reliably, comparing it favorably to higher-end brands. The flat top, precision guide rail, and included accessories enhance appeal for DIYers and hobbyists. However, several criticize the fence as difficult to adjust and lacking precision, with non-standard miter slots limiting aftermarket compatibility. Despite this drawback, most consider it an outstanding value for home woodworking.

Bad Table

Would Not Recommend

I bought one. Started to use it and noticed that my cuts where off. Checked the table and it was not flat at all. I love Kobalt tools so i took it back and got another one and it was the same problem. I took it back to the store and asked if i could open the box for another one to check and the table was again not flat. I was so impressed by the router itself only to be extremely disappointed by the table. I would not recommend this product in particular to anyone

Excellent product

Would Recommend

Easy setup. Works perfectly for what I needed. I used it with a tungsten carbide burr to profile some hardened steel. It took that abuse, so it can handle any wood projects you have. Would buy again.

Does what it supposed to do.

Works as expected, a little lacking in power but all in all a good purchase for the price.

Would love the hardware

Would Recommend

Right now I'm a little frustrated with this pourchase as it didn't come with any of the hardware to put it together. It must have been returned. I'll try to update when I actually get it put together and working.

Needs Standard T-track slots

Would Recommend

Good enough for the price, but the non standard slot and mitre guage are a big negative. Why not make it with a standard T-track? Or a standard table saw slot??

Serious flaw with important function

Would Not Recommend

The height adjustment function jams after very little use. It then becomes impossible to set the height accurately from above the table, and even when the router is used without the table the height can slip and cause unexpected damage to the wood surface. This problem is well documented online.
